          So you get the free MasterCard and put nothing on it?

          Edit: I guess not. Initial minimum load value is $10.

          You could put $10 on it, spend that $10 wherever you like then use it to sign up to trials.

          @fanny:

          Why not have a few prepaid cards on standby?

          If you change your credit card number, then you have to update all direct debt payments with the new card which can be annoying when you have over 10 direct debits already.

          This is an easier way

          @sween64: why not put $10 in the first card, and use that $10 to put in the second card and so on and on

          Each time you spend $10 on your card that will earn you 2000 point = $10

    Thanks! To those who have this, can this card be overdrawn with a $0 balance?

    Eg: if I sign up with presto, use this card to get a free month and forget to cancel the subscription, will there be an overdraw fee or affect my credit rating?

          But is loading from my NAB Credit Card

          Is a payment from my NAB card to a Prepaid card classified by NAB as a cash advance?

          Normally If you pay another Credit Card say CBA with your NAB card it is a cash advance with no interest free by NAB (same with any card provider not putting NAB just example)

          If adding funds to Coles card is classified as a normal purchase , that would be great way to get points and leverage interest free deals and % cash back deals, while getting flybuys points

        • hal9000 on 10/03/2016 - 21:26

          Use your own money to top up your card again and again with no ongoing monthly or load fees. You can top up your card online or by direct transfer from your bank account. A $10 top up minimum applies.

If successful, we’ll immediately add the value of the Top-Up Voucher to your Available Balance.

        • sween64 on 08/03/2016 - 08:39

          IP address isn't dependent on the device. It is set by the ISP…

        • 0p on 08/03/2016 - 20:19

          @sween64:
          I'm pretty sure you almost never have a static IP address unless you choose to do so. Yes your ISP provides an IP address but they have to purchase it from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority?
          You may also use a Virtual Private Network to change your IP address.
          Plus your IP address Isn't determined by ISP from my short reading…

          Your router will be given it's own IP address (for example 192.168.0.1) the other computer(s) will connect to, this is known as the default gateway. It will also have a subnet class (normally 255.255.255.0).
          Each computer has it's own unique IP either generated off that (for example 192.168.0.102, 192.168.0.103, etc) or are manually added. If these aren't different you will have issues when both computers connect at the same time. The same subnet class is needed to join the network.

          Interesting read…

        • sween64 on 08/03/2016 - 22:21

          @0p:

          That's the IP address as seen from the local network.

          The IP WAN address is set by the ISP. My cable home internet external IP has not changed for 3 years.

          My external IP on my phone when connected to via mobile data will change dependent on which SIM is inside (ie Optus or Telstra etc).

          The Router connects to the internet and gets it's own unique IP address for online access. Internet sites such as whatismyipaddress.com can automatically detect my IP address when accessed through the Web browser.

          That's the external IP aka Public IP.

          refer a friend both get $10 ride credit

          so we both got that twice

          @carlb: I prefer that $20 or $30 off codes. Makes my $45 trip home from the city very reasonable. Thanks for the tips.
